Castor delivered a staggering upset in the quarter-finals of the Stamford KO Shield last night (June 24) by bowling Bourne out for just 26!

Bourne, who themselves bowled Alford out for 27 in a Lincs Premier Division match two days before, saw six players dismissed for ducks and were grateful to Matthew Kidd’s modest top score of 12 not out.

Stuart Dockerill did the damage for Castor with a 5-7 burst in four overs.

Earlier Castor had posted 131-6 in their 20 overs.

Bourne have an immediate opportunity for redemption as they are due to host King’s Keys in a delayed Jaidka Cup semi-final tonight (June 25, 6.15pm).

Castor will now play Burghley Park in the semi-finals. Burghley pipped neighbours Stamford Town for the second day in a row, following a three-wicket Rutland Division Two win on Sunday with a five-run T20 success last night.
